The God Who is Love: Explaining Christianity From Its Center by Shane Kapler
Can people in a scientific age honestly believe in God? If so, how do we hear His voice? With such a variety of religious claims, why would someone become a Christian, or embrace a form of it as seemingly as archaic as Catholicism? Join one young man's struggle for answers and discover the Trinitarian revelation at Christianity's heart.
"This book by Shane Kapler is an example of the new evangeli- zation...He deals with the most profound and complex issues of our faith, and he does so with simplicity and clarity." Bishop Robert Hermann Archdiocese of St. Louis
"In the introduction, Kapler bills The God Who is Love as 'theological one stop shopping.' I'd say he delivered. A pleasant and straightforward read, it is a masterful interweaving of engaging personal narrative and intelligent catechesis and apologetics. Steeped in scriptural, philosophical, and historical insight, it is proudly Catholic, yet benevolently ecumenical - a heartfelt lesson that appeals to mind and soul." Kevin Vost, Psy.D. Author of Fit for Eternal Life and Memorize the Faith!
"It is a curious fact that Jesus chose to give us,
not a gospel in his own hand, but "the gospel according to..." We see Him
reflected in the eyes of his people. Shane Kapler follows in this ancient
tradition of evangelization by showing us how the light of the gospel dawned on
him in the teaching of the Church as he encountered it in the rough and tumble
of his collisions with everyday life. He shows us how to meet the Truth
who is Christ where he has always been found: not in a specially sterilized room
full of theological abstractions, but in the concrete ordinariness of everyday
life." Mark P. Shea Author of By What Authority? : An Evangelical Discovers Catholic Tradition; Making Senses Out of Scripture: Reading the Bible as the First Christians Did; and Mary, Mother of the Son
"Shane Kapler has given us a compendium of truth borne along by a compelling narrative. His book is both a moving charismatic testimony and an engaging Catholic catechesis. That's a rare combination - and a grace for the reader." Mike Aquilina Author of The Fathers of the Church and The Mass of the Early Christians; Executive Vice President, St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology
"Mr. Kapler has written a superb synthesis of Christian doctrine as taught by the Catholic Church. He passes frictionlessly between discussions of Old Testament scriptures, New Testament scriptures, the deepest mysteries of God, the life and teachings of Jesus, the role Judaism, and the experiences of his own spiritual journey, to lead the reader effortlessly into a full and deep catechesis of the Cathoic Faith, always illumined by and reflecting the overarching theme reflected in the book's title. Immensely enjoyable and readable, informed, and surprisingly deep in its explorations of the mysteries of the Faith, it solidly deserves a place among the most outstanding recent works of Catholic apologetics." Roy Schoeman, convert to Catholicism from Judaism and author of Salvation Is From The Jews: The Role of Judaism in Salvation History and Honey From The Rock: Sixteen Jews Find the Sweetness of Christ
